Before we delve into the post-production tips, it’s important to know what type of video content is most popular with the local audience. let's look at two popular types of content in Singapore:

With one of the top Singaporean travel influencer accounts raking in more than 360,000 followers on Instagram, it’s pretty clear that Singaporeans love exploring local and international destinations, making travel vlogs a popular content genre. These videos often require meticulous editing to highlight scenic beauty, cultural experiences and travel tips.

Singapore is renowned for its diverse culinary scene, and food review videos are immensely popular. This report by We Are Social and Meltwater shows an interesting breakdown of the types of social media accounts that Singaporeans follow – which has restaurants, chefs and food reviewers as the second most followed type of account behind their friends, families and communities.
8 essential post-production tips
So now that you have an idea of what type of content is most watched by the Singaporean audience, here comes the tough part – piecing it all together into high-quality content.
To help you with that, here is a step-by-step list on post production.
The first step in post-production is organising your footage. Create a folder structure on your computer to categorise raw footage, audio, graphics and project files. Label each file clearly, so you can easily locate them during editing. This organisation saves time and ensures a smoother editing process.
Choosing the right video editing software is crucial. Here are some popular tools among content creators:
Adobe is most well-known software for video editing. Image: Adobe
Known for its professional-grade features, Premiere Pro is ideal for detailed and complex edits. However, it may be a bit of an overkill if you are more of a novice at video editing as this requires technical expertise in design and editing.
Mac users often use Final Cut Pro. Image: Apple
Favoured by many Mac users, this software offers a user-friendly interface and powerful editing capabilities. The upside is that this software is also available on the Apple iPad for on-the-go content editing.

CapCut is an all-in-one creative platform powered by AI that enables video editing and image design on browsers, Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.This easy-to-use app ranks 3rd on the top list of mobile apps that are popular in Singapore.
Begin by creating a rough cut of your video. Import your footage into the editing software and start trimming clips to assemble the sequence. Focus on the main storyline, ensuring that the flow of the video makes sense. Don't worry about perfection at this stage; the goal is to establish a solid foundation so you can gauge how the masterpiece will turn out to be in the end!
Now that you have a rough cut, it’s time to polish this diamond. You can add transitions and effects for a professional touch to your videos. Popular transitions include cuts, fades, and dissolves. For effects, consider adding text overlays, motion graphics and colour grading to enhance the visual appeal of your video.
Audio quality is as important as visual quality. If your audience can’t hear what you’re saying, they won’t be watching your content!
Be sure to listen closely to your recordings and adjust the audio levels to ensure consistency throughout the video. Add background music and sound effects to enhance the viewing experience. Make sure the music complements the video's tone and doesn't overpower the dialogue.
The final step once you're satisfied with your edits is to export the video in the appropriate format. Consider where your video will be posted as different channels come with different formatting dimensions.
For YouTube and social media, the MP4 format is recommended due to its balance between quality and file size. Be sure to adjust the resolution, frame rate and bitrate settings according to the platform's requirements.
